Those considering home schooling! - Samantha. Thanks for your note. Those considering home schooling should listen to our Issues in Education program "A Transformational Education," on this very website. Just go to program log #1145. What's your child's soul worth? Their education will determine their beliefs. Pastor Ed Gandyinvestigated what was being taught to his church children in their public schools. He confronted the teachers in his church over what they were teaching in public school. Consequently his church built a $4 million school hiring the public school teachers to give the kids a Christian education. Pastor Brian Schwertley discusses what's taught in public schools and the Biblical commands for the education of children. Bob Gannage sold encyclopedias door to door so he could educate his own children. (PS You can listen to our program any day, any time, from our website.) Bob & Geri Boyd - 3/4/2010 2:01:35 PM

THANK YOU - THANKS FOR YOUR FAITHFULNESS & HARD WORK. GOD BLESS YOU. DENNIS HORTON - 2/27/2010 6:52:13 PM

A homeschooling reference book? - Hi. I used to bring your radio program down by satellite in Jacksonville, Texas at KBJS (90.3 FM). What I would like to have on hand is a book that addresses all of the typical questions to help inform my friends who are considering homeschooling - or who are considering supporting it. Samantha Samantha - 2/23/2010 10:17:46 PM

Thank you - I appreciate your ministry and listen your your program on the radio on the way to church. May God bless your ministry. Amy Todd - 2/20/2010 4:05:13 PM

Who is our government? - My only comment is to say that if you want to know why everything is against the constitution, look up and read the history of treaties and bankruptcies, etc. at Teamlaw.net. After that, then you can tell me what is wrong with things. We left that corporation to be under the original jurisdiction. Alice - 2/20/2010 8:49:52 AM

ADHD/ADD - Richard, The side effects of the drugs range from heart attack to dperessed appetite depending on the drug used. If you go to http://www.drdyslexic.com/ you can hear the first half of my talk with parents where I cover the confusion the medical world has in distinguishing the difference between ADHD and a child who learns by doing. If you want more information the same site has the entire book, Does your Child Really have ADHD?, for sale just click on the image of the book. I would estimate that two-thirds to 90% of those correctly diagnosed ADHD are just children who learn by doing. But when I was the medical director of an ADHD clinic 70% of our ADHD children came to us misdiagnosed. The correct diagnosis is determined by the parents answers to 18 questions which the parents need to answer yes to at least 6. Questions like Does your child leave his seat inappropriately? All 18 questions are in the book. The key question beyond do their children have 6 yeses is are they positive in two environments out of three: home, school, community. If they are only positive at one say - school - then you need to change their school and you can't diagnose ADHD. The drugs themselves develop a tolerance so that within about 3 years your friends children will be at the maximum dose. So beyond the issue of do they really have ADHD is the question of how will you help them when the drugs are no longer effective. The medical approach of switching drugs has limited effectiveness. I discuss a lot of different solutions from discipline to exercise for the parents who have specific issues they want addressed. As school is the biggest problem for ADHD children many of the suggestions have to do with academics. Because I believe that the issue is a learning style mismatch and the poor treatment i.e. drugs is caused by the medical world being blind to learning styles I would tend to blame the mistreatment on ignorance rather than any particular liberal agenda. However, Richard a child in public school that carries the ADHD diagosis is worth at least $1,000 bonus. (I believe that they have to be 2 years below grade level, but that may only be in California.) So when you talk about the "drive of an enemy to subdue our nations children" I believe the drive is greed. For more information go to http://www.drdyslexic.com/.

Children diagnosed ADD and medications prescribed - I'am concerned about friends of ours whose children, who I believe are great kids needing nothing but Godly love and dicipline,have been diagnosed by liberal doctors that they are ADD and require medication. I would strongly appreciate all or any information on not only the affects of these drugs on children but also the unforseen drive of an enemy to subdue our nations children. In His love, richard Richard Webb - 2/3/2010 1:22:58 PM

bankruptcy of nation radio segment - Why do your segments always place blame on current administration? Today's segment on financial crisis is an example. Try reading 'Bankruptcy 1995, the coming collapse of america &how to stop it, by Figgie & Swanson. Our problems prove ignorance and failed policies from both parties last 50 years. dan howell - 1/31/2010 9:38:50 AM

downloading instructions - You might try clicking the link that says "Download" on the programs page at www.issuesineducation.org/programs.asp For some reason that works for some when the playlist link does not. -Russ Webmaster Russ - 1/6/2010 1:19:29 PM

Programs - I can't seem to be able to listen to any programs live. When I click it it just says the current playlist has no vaild files in it. Just thought you might want to make sure everything is working. Thanks Kevin Walding - 1/3/2010 11:08:37 AM

America/Australia - Hi Guys, I'm down here in Australia & a big fan of your show. Just wanted to let you know that everything that talk about happening in your once great country is also happening here in Australia. God bless you for letting the people know what is going on. Andrew Evertsen - 12/25/2009 7:15:24 PM

Marxism/Existentialism....curriculum theory - The re-writing of history books is fundamental to the liberal agenda. Re-educating conservative thinkers regarding American and World history needs to be formalized. Please include me in the effort. I am a former teacher. Wayne Hoffmann - 12/5/2009 6:03:46 AM

new word for public education - Dear Bob and Geri, In the interests of accuracy wouldn't it be better to refer to public school education as "feducation"? Darryl Darryl Kinne - 11/7/2009 3:21:21 PM

Obama administration and socialism - Are you Christians? If so, why are you so eager to destroy Iran? Why the double standard with relation to Israel? Why is Israel allowed to have a lot of nuclear weapons but is not criminalized? The word czar was used in the U.S. long before Obama's election, why is he accused as communist for that? Miguel - 10/31/2009 10:09:06 AM

My first experience hearing you - Imagine hearing what we talk about in the weekly Bible sutdy we've had at our home for 19 years on the radio en route to the ER where I work. You rock, because He does. Please send your weblink to me at the above address, as I am at work, and can't do so. God bless you; keep up the good work! ~SKH Steve Hillman. MD - 10/31/2009 9:56:34 AM

Thank You! - I was a lost sinner and the product of feminism, socialism, and the public school system. Now that I'm a born again believer in the Lord Jesus, I love complimentarianism, capitalism, and homeschooling. I'm so thankful for your ministry and the awesome guests you interview. Richard Lee Nguyen - 10/29/2009 9:31:50 AM

Appreciation - I want to thank you for being such a blessing to our family & countless others. You're faithfulness in what God designed you for is such a gift! We are new listeners and we plan to take your messages and share with as many as possible. May God continue to guide and instruct your way. Geri Vigil Geri Vigil - 10/25/2009 5:23:07 PM

Newsletter - Third Quarter 2009 - I was blessed in reading your newsletter. It was very enlightening and revealing. Your brief story about Dr.Livingston was very inspiring. I pray the Lord continues to bless your ministry. Robert - 10/13/2009 12:59:15 PM

The Spiritual State of the Nations - What a powerful and needed message on this program. I've ordered 5 copies of this program in order to share it with familly and friends and participants that are in a Bible Study entitled "What In The World Is Gloing On" based on Dr. David Jeremiah's book and DVD series by that name. I would eventually like to get addition copies. I've down-loaded this message and will pass on the information to others. Is it ever possible to burn a CD directly from this down-loaded message? Thank you for your ministry. Don Charles Don Charles - 9/20/2009 3:05:38 PM

Bible Study - Greetings, Carol & I are holding a Bible study next month and we are using your interview with David Barnhart "The Spiritual State of the Union" as the topic. Plus we ordered six of his books "Living in the Times of the Signs." We look forward to sharing your insights on this exciting topic with our friends in Christ. We pray that all is well with th two of you. God Bless you Tom & Carol McGuire Tom & Carol McGuire - 9/20/2009 2:53:17 PM

response to Karen re: Dr Livingstone - Thanks Karen, You pose good questions. Let's see what others say after reading the story of Dr Livingstone on the last 2 pages of our latest (3rd quarter) newsletter. Bob & Geri Boyd - 9/15/2009 4:09:21 PM

Dr.Livingstone - What an incredible man. But now wondering what kind of a God we serve. He wasn't even allowed to have his wife by his side. He suffered much as did the quad.Joni Erickson. Joel Osteen says God cares @ every detail in our lives and wants our happiness but don't see it. Why is God a good God? karen brown - 9/12/2009 4:32:46 PM

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS below: - The station in El Paso that broadcasts Issues in Education is KELP 1590 AM Sat at 8 am. Your qualifications to educate your children are given to you by God. You need to prepare, do the research, consider getting tudors and with his desire to learn, you will be sowing seeds that will (94% chance) reap kids for eternal life with you in heaven. He also will be better educated. The program "Christ Overcomes Terrorism" #1022 is available from our website under "contact us." Your email will come directly to us and we will send you the CD. No podcasts of that program are available. Thanks for the encouragement. The program is #1107 Silencing Christian Speech with John Whitehead of Rutherford available from "Program Log." Bob & Geri Boyd - 9/9/2009 4:12:53 PM

Christ overcomes terrorism - How do I get a copy and also do you have podcast available? I love what I have heard and feel you are both a real blessing to me and the world with getting the truth out. Thank you Jeanne Jeanne Hart - 9/8/2009 9:29:26 PM

support for parents - As my child gets into high school we are concerned about our qualifications to helping him with schoolwork. How can we get extra help for him with subjects we are not qualified to guide him through ourselves. Cheryl Workman - 9/7/2009 10:59:01 AM

Thank you - Bob & Geri, today I heard your programs for the first time, I caught the last 5 minutes and then searched online. It's amazing the info you are putting on the air, continued to educate the christian community in these issues. I didn't see what was the station here in San Antonio and I can't find it on line, can you please tell me what it is? Thank you again and know that I will be listening from now on. Nedelka Medina - 9/5/2009 7:04:36 PM

Question - Hi, I remember on your show that you were interviewing a lawyer who had a team of volunteer lawyers who defended christian and constitutional issues. It was not Jay Sekulow, or Liberty Council. Can you tell me who that was? Thanks and Keep up the good work. God Bless. Daniel Jay Dixon Daniel DIxon - 9/5/2009 1:25:36 PM

This Administration: - Hello Bob and Geri, Are you guys still sending out your newletters four times a year? They are always so very intriguing. I have to say for the first time in my life; I am afraid of this government we live under. I do not for one iota trust this President Obama. In my book He is an Islamo/Marxist who intends to undermine the foundations of our lives and our foundation in our constitution. I certainly do not trust this president and did not vote for this maligment of manhood who cares not for Israel and allows for the death of four thousand unborn babies on a daily basis. I pray Obama care will indeed fail. Everything he does is an antithesis to the very core of my own beliefs in ethics and humanity and in my Christian beliefs. We are told to pray for our leaders. Yes, I pray for his safety, but I also pray to get his act together in doing the right thing for America. But, personally, that would be a miracle of God.... Thanks Bob and Geri for your time and Blessing's to you both always. Roger M. Angress - 9/1/2009 5:59:46 PM

response to below - HELLO! You didn't hear our program. Please just listen to the program, its free on this site, Light in the Closet, it's not about you or your unhappy situation but a warning to parents that their children will hear only the pro-homosexual view in public school. Our guest Arthur loves homosexuals. That's why he wrote the book and helps those who want to get out. Bob & Geri Boyd - 8/29/2009 5:13:21 PM

recent program - I heard a recent broadcast -the subject was homosexuality. I was appalled. I thought Christians were to be loving and kind. Your attitude was judgmental, condemning, and sure that all homosexuals are depraved and disgusting sinners. Your attitude is destructive and immoral. God created me as I am; a gay man. I did not choose to be this way. Why would I choose such when so many “good church folk” treat me like they do. You have no idea what it is like to be gay; to suffer the torment of so called righteous folk. I have been a Christian for over thirty years. If you could just seek to understand the harm that you are doing with your attitude, you would change your ways. Take the blinders off. Stop being such self-righteous bigots. coyote three feathers herron coyote 3 - 8/29/2009 4:57:14 PM

Light in the Closet - There is an inherent contradiction in what Ms. Freeman says. She claims the individuals who identify as gay chose to be that way (the exact opposite of the born that way theory). If that be so, why can't the individual choose to identify as straight. We only work with those individuals who are distressed about their homosexuality and such choice is the essence of a free and democratic system. Why is Ms. Freeman outraged over someone exercising their right of client determination? Her comments are therefore somewhat baffling and appear to be indicative of a person who has not thought through the issue. Best, Arthur Arthur Goldberg - 8/25/2009 3:03:46 PM

Discussion of gay youth - I was driving today and listening to your station. I heard Mr.Goldberg's comment,about counseling youths out of being gay. It outraged me. I've worked with youths for 32 yrs. Some were straight, gay and experimenting. I found that the ones who were gay chose to be that way with or without counseling Lorraine Freeman - 8/22/2009 7:03:29 PM

Quote Attributed to Thomas Jefferson - On today's program, I heard you quote Thomas Jefferson as saying "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have." This is a common misquote. Jefferson never said that. I totally agree with the statement, but it was actually said by Gerald Ford in an address to congress on 8/12/74. It sounds better to say that Jefferson said it, but if we are talking education, then we should make sure we sound educated and give credit to where it is due with Ford for such a profound statement. I hear this quote all the time by people in oposition to Obama's programs, and I agree with the sentement, but no way around it, Jefferson never said it. Love your show. I listen to it here in Wisconsin. Thanks for all you do. - Mike Mike Dodd - 8/8/2009 9:17:52 AM

Response to Christian PS teacher - Dear ms2art1:
God makes it clear in His word that parents are responsibile for their children’s education and upbringing. You imply you work/teach in a state-run school. The word of God gives the state no authority over the education and upbringing of children. Can you find where He does prescribe this for His people or for anyone's children? The civil government’s role is to punish the evildoer and commend the doer of good (1 Pet 2:13-15), not to teach, train, and indoctrinate children, which is the parents’ job (again, with the support of the church).
You write, “Private and home schooling do not offer the many social experiences and life experiences necessary to be well balanced.” First, 25 years of research show the home educated to be as healthy, or more, in terms of their social, emotional, and psychological development as children and youth in state-run schools (see, for example, http://www.nheri.org/Research-Facts-on-Homeschooling.html). Second, most home-based education families do all kinds of things with children outside their homes (e.g., 4-H, sports teams, learning co-operatives). And home-educated children and youth, are more adapt, on average, at readily interacting with people of a variety of ages and backgrounds on a normal social basis Finally, your statement that “Besides, Christ does not call us to hide in our homes where we all have shared beliefs, but rather to witness to all of the world!” First, we do not know of any home-based education Christian parents who believe in hiding in their homes. Who does God command to witness to others? He sends His disciples, He does not send unsaved 5- or 8- or 13-year-olds, period. He sends the ones who are trained! Notice that Jesus also sent His disciples out two by two; that is, with a grounded partner who was specifically sent by Jesus to reach the lost. Home-based educationis to lead one’s children to Christ, then disciple and equip them, then help them heed the call of their Savior and King on their lives, as He individually directs.
In conclusion you should not try to build an extra-biblical, or anti-biblical, case for sending children or youth there that is not in accord with the clear teachings of the whole counsel of God on the discipleship of the children of God’s children and subsequent calling “into the world.”
Thank you for writing and taking time to consider this response.

Can America be saved? - SAVE AMERICA: RE-ELECT NO ONE! God protects Christians even under dictatorships; hence, liberties provide no safety without God’s direct protection. Since the 1860s our Constitution has been violated proving true protection comes from God. Christians have nothing to fear under any government. Christians suffering under dictators know it is for God’s glory and their good. Christians must honor even worthless leaders. Even a socialist President is to be honored. If God ordains a President to persecute God’s people, God remains good; the sin is the President’s. Ultimately the President fulfills only what God ordains. Safety is in counting things loss for Christ’s sake. So pray for leaders who oppose God to believe the gospel of free and sovereign grace. Pray for all new leaders to be committed to the Lord Jesus Christ. SAVE AMERICA: RE-ELECT NO ONE! Tom Brewer Tom Brewer - 7/9/2009 11:58:58 AM

Socialization AKA Public School - You guys will have fun with this one; http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/weird/Girl-Suspended-for-Taping-Chaos-in-Classroom.html james Atherton - 7/8/2009 5:11:55 PM

successful Christian schooling - Hi Bro Robinson, Thanks for your note. And thank you for giving a priority to Christian education. Yes the program you heard was on 5/3/8 called The Business of Christian Education # 1048 Dr Ellsworth McIntyre, author of How to Become a Millionaire in Christian Education, built a chain of Christian schools starting from scratch. He makes Christian school profitable and tell how you can too. We would be happy to send you a copy of his book and a CD copy of that program. Bob & Geri Boyd Bob & Geri Boyd - 7/7/2009 10:57:04 AM

school in the church - I am a member of a fairly large church and we have a school building were we are having summer school at this time. You had a gentleman last year who started a program of schooling for churches and it was very profitable for the church. I was looking for the program you ran that day, as I listen to you on KTLW Lancaster every Saturday and enjoy your show. Keep up the good work. I need the name of the gentleman and or the copy of the show. May God continully bless you, keep you, and may His Face Shine upon you daily. Bro. Robinson Living Stone Cathedral of Worship Littlerock Ca. Bishop Henry Hearns Senior Pastor William Robinson - 7/7/2009 10:21:00 AM

Children Should Be Be exposed to this climate! pub - I am responding to a writter wrote about it being the responsibility of home and family to educate and inform children about God, She was so right! and so there it is . children should not be exposed to public education with all of its openly and worldiness. No regard for God Kim - 7/3/2009 5:35:36 AM

Talk Show on Changing Destiny (1108) - You so blessed me with this show. I often feel alone in my heart.action to "safeguard" the hearts, mind and souls of children. I hvae two small christian centers and been educating students for years. The need now is so mucg greater becasue the evil one has "enahnced" his fire and flmaes to devour them. We must do soemthing OR our children will continue to go hell in a basket. Pastor Kim D. Grant-Albright - 7/3/2009 5:29:22 AM

Hug a Pig - “Christian” Mary, there are so many fallacies in your logic it is hard to know where to begin. The research statistics do not favor your assertions, let alone practical experience. Swimming in a cess pool (syncretism) with other humanists has never advanced the kingdom of God, but instead brought only judgment from God. Do you think God took lightly Israel’s failure to kill or destroy women, children, livestock, or spoils upon entering Canaan? Education is not neutral. Taxpayer funded “public” education represents the churches of secular humanism, sometimes referred to as ABC religion, Anything But Christianity. James Atherton James Atherton - 6/24/2009 5:45:18 PM

single mom homeschooling - I am a single mom of four small kids that has been homeschooling. I have never worked outside the home, but now I have to. The Lord has still allowed me to continue homeschooling by taking my older kids with me as a friend watches the younger ones. Don't give up, pray to be Titus 2 and trust God! Kim - 6/24/2009 5:37:46 AM

Obama National Proclamations - Hey Bob Have you heard that Prez Obama has declared that June was to be declared The National Gay & Trans- Gender Month. But I bet you did not hear this on CNN or MSNBC. Communist News Network or Media Supports Nationlism Before Communism. Look for Obamas Proclamations on the Web Ed Lugan - 6/23/2009 3:09:20 PM

Response to a Christian teaching in public school - Thanks for your note and for listening! We agree that home schooling is the best (and only Biblical) way to teach children. The social experiences you refer to in public schools lead many kids into drugs, violence, sexual experimentation and peer dependence and away from belief in God. To say that children who attend a Christian school or who are home schooled are not well balanced just defies all logic and studies proving just the opposite. As a Christian and a public school teacher who is your primary employer? Is it the state (Caesar) or Christ? Jesus said, in Mt 18, that anyone who teaches little ones who believe in Him to sin it would be better for them to be drowned! The greatest sin is the loss of 88% of Christian children's souls in the atheistic public school system. Any system of education that undermines belief in God with relative values, evolutionism/ atheism, and humanism is working against God. Romans 12 tells us not to be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Everything about a public school education conforms children to this world. It does just the opposite of what the Bible commands. It's a worldly education. D.L. Moody said if you don't care about other people's eternal souls you probably aren't saved yourself. Anyone can call themselves Christian. The question is do you have a Biblical world view that you put in practice even as you work for Caesar as a teacher? Bob & Geri Boyd - 6/23/2009 2:03:46 PM

progran6/20/09 - As a public school educator and Christian I resent much of what you said ib the program today. The primary education of a child to follow Christ's teaching is the home and family members. Children learn best by example. My students know that I am a Christian and watch every move I make to look for their examples for how a Christian behaves, Private and home schooling do not offer the many social experiences and life experiences necessary to be well balanced. Besides, Christ does not call us to hide in our homes where we all have shared beliefs, but rather to witness to all of the world! Mary - 6/20/2009 9:42:44 PM

1st Quarter Newsletter - Dear Bob Boyd You recent comments on Socialism in USA are so true! Since Mr Obama has taken office I have yet to hear him mention the name of Jesus Christ even one time! He may be The Devils Advocate, but surely not the Messiah Can you Pls send me yr 1st Qtr Newsletter 2009 Titled: "America Needs God!" Edward Lugan - 6/2/2009 2:32:35 PM

Resurrections/ Resuscitations - Thanks Jerry for pointing out Hebrews 9:27 that says people die once then the resurrection. But there are lots of examples of people in the Bible (Lazarus in Jn 11:44, 1 Ki 17:22, 2 Ki 13:21, Lk 7:15, Dorcas in Acts 9:40...) who have died and were restored back to life. Dean Braxton is also one. Bob & Geri Boyd - 5/28/2009 4:42:10 PM

Article on Pastor Dean Braxton - First: Do NOT sell my e-mail address. Second, either Pastor Dean Braxton is lying, or the Bible is. Hebrews says, "...as it is appointed to men once to die, and after this the resurrection." So who shall we believe? Maybe he ate too much pizza the night before. Jerry Jones PhD - 5/27/2009 12:58:21 PM

#1102- Capitalism v Socialism - Listened to your program on WHTC 1450 am-Holland, Mi. on 5/24/2009. Excellent presentation, this message needs to heard, not only by Christians, but by all Americans committed to the survival of our country and our way of life. Thank You... Jim Kuiper - 5/24/2009 10:21:13 AM

Heaven - As a Christian, I go by the Bible. I heard of another person say he was dead for 90 minutes after a horrible crash. What about Hebrews 9:27? How can anyone come back to die again ? Roger Forgit - 5/23/2009 11:16:34 AM

Pastor Dean Braxton's Heavenly experience - Pastor Dean Braxton is a humble black minister who is not trying to make money from his experience in heaven, so he has no book or DVD or anything for sale. You can get the CD interview of his experience from this website under program log The Wonder of Heaven parts 1 & 2. Bob & Geri Boyd - 4/24/2009 12:27:38 PM

Finding home schoolers in your area - Since almost all home schoolers are members of the Home School Legal Defense Association you could call them to find others in your area. The phone # is (540) 338-5600. May God bless your BIBLICAL home schooling efforts. Bob & Geri Boyd - 4/24/2009 12:23:27 PM

Dean Maryland Braxton - I was able to hear one of your programs during the Easter weekend and was so moved and confirmed by a episode in my own life and wanted to let you know how thrilling and moving of Holy Spirit that day by using his experiences and so forth.

My question is that I don't know how or where I can get that taping of his experience in heaven taping. I would like to be able to purchase or have a web site for him to view his other works in ministry as well. If you can help anyway, I would appreciate it. I really enjoyed hearing your porgram and issue that are in today's world. Thank You and God Bless. Vickie - 4/23/2009 9:21:49 PM

homeschool grandmother - I am a grandmother to four..nearly five homeschooled children. I am so thankful for our daughter in law doing this. I want to encourage them as much as I can. They have no Christian support group near them. Their church does not recognize the benefits. I believe they have a Christian school at the church. Is there a way that we can find out if there are Christian homeschoolers near them. How can they get some support? Jeanne Kotiadis - 4/23/2009 2:15:45 PM

Pastor Braxton's Heavenly Vision - Thank you for your wonderful ministry. I have a small group and would like t o share Pastor Braxton's heavenly vision. Do you have a copy of this so that I can download as a hard copy? Eulie Cienfuegos - 4/14/2009 10:58:17 AM

Let Your Light Shine Before Men! - I'm writing to encourage you both (Bob and Geri) to keep up the fight for the truth. Remember that God will never leave or forsake you. In the end of time, the TRUTH is what will win. Lies and deception is what Satan uses to trip us up in believing that God "can't help us." He can and will help you!

Saturday's show - Wow! I loved soaring like eagles-I will use many of the facts to let my light shine in the classroom! I love you guys so much!!!!! Debbie Moorin - 3/28/2009 8:15:16 AM

Todays show - AWESOME! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been trying to get this radio station to start focusing on the issues of TODAY! And, wake people UP^ to the reality of our situation and the state of our country. I'm so appreciative on this show today! Not just from the schooling of our kids but, IT"S TIME FOLKS! It's time to stop sitting in the pews, asleep and oblivious to our situation. It's time to stand up^, to wake up and to prepare. Jesus told us to "watch", and "KNOW" and all week long I hear the same ol'thang! It's horrible, and as Christians we should be given more power and strength from our Pastors, the Pastors on this station too - to stand against what's happening now, and especially - for what's coming VERY soon! Thanks again and keep it up! It confirms what I've been trying to get my family and friends to see, with little impact on my own. Please KEEP IT UP^! God Bless, Sherri / So.

stating home schooling - Hi Daniel. Great to hear from you. We are so glad you have made this wonderful decision. The first step is to make it legal. So I would suggest you check with what's required in your state. That means contacting the Home School Legal Defense. Here's their web address: http://www.hslda.org/ This is a great time to home school. There are all kinds of conventions, books and how to's just waiting for you to discover. Thanks for letting us be part of that adventure of a lifetime. Bob & Geri Boyd Issues - 3/11/2009 3:50:12 PM

Your Show on 03/07/09 - Hello, I was listening to kwave yesterday and I believe I heard your show. When I was listening you were talking about addiction and sanity and the words we use, true or false. There was another guy sort of co hosting with you two. I would love to have a copy of that program since it pertains to my past life and someone who is close to me now in my family. Thank you so much for your ministry. And thank you for your help, btw I will pay for a copy if you post it on this website. Stephen Howard - 3/8/2009 11:54:26 AM

correct address - Hi We are currently offering the CD of the interview we did with Pastor Dean Braxton. He is offering a DVD of his interview on "Power Talk." His correct email address is: deanmarilynbraxton@msn.com Issues - 3/3/2009 3:00:10 PM

Mr. Brakston's email address... - Thank you so much for your program. You are wise and attract people whom the Lord has also blessed with godly wisdom. Mr. Brakston's sharing of his heavenly experience was a true blessing. Could you confirm that I noted down the right email address for him as follows: deanmarilinbrakston@msn.com Having just finished school, I would like to contact him because his CD would be a blessing to many of my friends at this time... May the Lord richly bless your ministry. Heather MacLean - 3/3/2009 9:22:42 AM

Newsletter - 2q2008 - Mr Boyd, I just read your newsletter about your personal heart attack. I am very glad that you took the time to write that. It should give all of us a warning to pay more attention to our own medical symptoms. We often tend to ignore them, saying it is just a passing thing. I understand this is more of a man's problem. You proved that is often not the case. I am happy to hear that you recovered and your wife was at your side all of the time. That proves we all need a helper, especially in a time of trouble. I used to be able to hear your show, but something changed over two years ago. I can no longer receive that low-powered Christian station (WDFB-Danville, KY). Periodically I check your Internet site for the latest programs and download the programs that interest me. Both of you do a beautiful job with your show. You cover a variety of topics. Again, thank you. LR Clifford - 2/25/2009 10:51:13 PM

Focus Your Attention - regarding the program on 1/24/09. I have been a teacher of the Mentally Disabled K-5 for 30 years in a public school in southern Virginia. Over that period of time, I probably have had 3 or 4 students on medication for hyperactivity. If these students had not been on medication, they would not havenot have been able to do anything nor would the rest of the class. The most recent was a little boy who would come into the classroom jumping, and clapping and hollering. When his medication kicked in he was able to focus on his work and do a good job and he was not like a zombie. I even had one little girl about seven years ago that would come and tell me I need to get my medicine. It wasn't because she knew how to tell time, because she didn't.Teachers in our school system are not allowed to suggest to parents that a child needs medication. We have a fourth grade student in our school right now (regular education) who has not been taking his medication regularly. On those days, he has run up and down the halls--hollering. One day he kicked the principal. Another day he hit the school nurse. The days that he has his medication, he is able to focus on his work. And he is not like a zombie either. Yes, I know in some cases it does cause a child to have less of an appetite, but I don't know of any that have lost too much weight. My second cooment is regarding today's program (1/31/09). At the end you suggested that parents look at their child's school menus. You are absolutely right. The media is always talking about the snack machines in schools. The children at my school are not allowed to use the snack machine, The school menu, however, is awful. Not only pizza, mac and cheese, ham sandwiches, but pizza and french fries or a meat choice and mashed potatoes and corn. Many, many days the vegetable choice are all starches. They have quit serving cake as much and usually offer a fruit everyday, but the carbohydrates of the main selections is what is so bad. That's all, Peggy Peggy Delancey - 2/5/2009 1:26:49 PM

Response to Peggy - Peggy, Let me start off by saying you are probably right, "If these students had not been on medication, they would not have been able to do anything nor would the rest of the class." A traditional classroom is not designed for a child who learns through movement. The diagnosis of ADHD does not exclude learning styles so maybe one in three ADHD kids are not kinesthetic. So let's assume of the 3 children you met 2 were kinesthetics and 1 was not. This means that one of the three might really be ADHD. Her history will sound like this, "I took the medicine and within an hour I was thinking straight." Unfortunately, the drugs and drug withdrawal affect the child. So skipping a dose and asking for it isn't necessarily a sign of ADHD. Adderall is speed. It is addictive and withdrawal might drive a little one crazy. Under those conditions it would not be unusual that they want their meds. As a teacher you are stuck in a situation where you aren't medically trained to give the advice and you aren't the parent with the authority to try other treatment options. I wish I could give you feedback that would be helpful in a classroom experience. I can say this boys are naturally more kinesthetic than girls and they tend to be so until the age of 7 or 8. So if you see a child under 7 on meds that is way too early for any doctor to determine that the boy has ADHD. Next the drugs seem to lose their affect after three years (Boys Adrift by Leonard Sax, MD) so while they are on the medicine it is best to start training them to control their own behavior. Play Attention shows promise. Also the Adderall- Ritalin type drug seems to destroy the male motivation centers - animal tests only. It will take some long term research on humans to find out if they have this problem and if it is permanent. However, having a well-educated son who stays at home playing video games into his thirties isn't the hope of any parent. For all these reasons and many more I recommend that kinesthetics be home schooled if at all possible. Most classrooms are designed for the auditory or the visual learner and for you to be all thing to all kids is a sure prescription for failure. Yours, Stephen Guffanti, MD Stephen Guffanti, MD - 2/4/2009 12:45:28 PM

1/25/9 program: FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION - I have a grandson who is a very smart and intelligent little boy, he loves animals. He is seven years old. He is a hands on and busy little man. He really can play on the x-box, he understands the games and he and his grandfather have a wonderful time together. He understands about God, he has spent a fair amount of time with me and my husband, I have talked to him about God and played christain music for him while riding in the car when he was little. He hates school this year and his teacher thinks he is ADD. He gets some help with writing and does a good job with good marks, but his home room teacher gives him C's all the time and TJ doesn't feel C's are good enough. I have ordered the CD's and looking forward to getting them. I feel we have enough of our society on drugs and we don't need to put more on drugs. The teacher has requested a meeting with his mother for next week. I know God made sure I was listening to your program this past Sunday. I love my grandson, he makes my heart sing. I will do all I can to make sure he doesn't get put onto medications. Thank you so much for such an informative program with all the right answers for me and my grandson. God Bless Martha Varney martha Varney - 1/30/2009 12:57:21 PM

response to Issues listener - Martha, Before your grandson is placed on drugs for ADD besure his mom asks the doctor how the doctor differentiates from attention deficit and boredom? The answer needs to be specific enough to measure and the doctor needs to have a plan to measure that before and after he starts the drugs. The larger issue is that he hates school and he is looking at 10 more years! He would be better off if he was homeschooled because you could alter his curriculum to feed his passion for animals. (There is a chance that the video games are an addiction rather than a passion. If you want to know how to tell the difference and why his passion is so important I wrote a book called "The Purpose of Passion" which reveals why God gives us a passion and how to work with it. To get it you need to contact me directly drphonics@rocketphonics.com.) Stephen Guffanti, MD - 1/30/2009 12:32:22 PM

Help with homeschooling - Dear Bob and Geri,
I am writing to ask if you could please give me the best resources and contacts to start homeschooling my precious children right away. I have asked God to forgive me for ever sending my children to the moral decay of public schools and being blinded to this tragedy for so long.
Currently my boys are at home doing an online schooling through connections academy which is basically bringing public school curriculum into our home, scary! We spend time each day reading the Bible and my husband and I are doing a disciple ship program with them. I am feeling very convicted about the public school curriculum, it actually makes me feel physically sick, so I know it's time to change this, the sooner the better!
I want to do this right, but I don't know where to start with homeschooling my two teenage boys. I'm praying and hoping there is help to pay for the books and supplies, if I can get that, I can finally give my boys the education God intended for them to have. Thank you so much for your ministry. You are an incredible blessing to this world.
Blessings to you and your amazing family:)
In Christ, Rachel

Rachel,
Thanks for this wonderfully encouraging email. Your note is the answer to our prayers and the reason we make this radio program.

First, I forwarded your note to our guest Mike Donnelly of the Home School Legal Defense Association. The first step to home schooling is to sign up with them to prevent the state from saying your child is "truant" because they're not going to public school.

To speak with Mike or anyone at HSLDA you can call them at (540)338-5600 Mike's website is: www.HSLDA.org

Then, a good resource person is Israel Wayne who was home schooled and works for the Home School Digest (www.homeschooldigest.com) Phone (800) 343-1943

They are a wonderful resource. There are many beyond that but this is a start. Please keep us informed of your progress.

God's best to you and thanks again for the encouragement.

Fighting - 1st, I thank God for this ministry and everyone that has contributed. I asked the Lord one day that If I was going to die that I wanted to die fighting. The Lord lead me to this web site and I'm ready to fight 4 the children and my LORD. If King David can take on a giant ,we can 2. Lets fight!!!! Antonio Rangel - 12/2/2008 8:55:54 PM

President Obama - Thank you for your ministry and for your excellent programs. Even though I am a Canadian I am greatly concerned about the election.When Senator Obama becoms President Obama it calls for a change in the National Anthem. I am afraid it will no longer be : The land of the Free and the home of the Brave. It will become : The land of the Perverts and the home of the Gullible. I hope and pray it will not come to that. Kindest Regards Fred Fred Kroeschel - 11/2/2008 4:55:40 PM

Obama on abortion - How do I proove to my Father that Obama voted for partial birth abortion and that he would allow an aborted baby to die? My Father doesn't believe it. Thank you for your time and God Bless always.... Judy - 11/1/2008 10:52:52 PM

homeschooling - We have a child attending a private Christian school but we are prayerfully considering homeschooling. We would like to shorten the regular 8 hour schoolday to less hours with the focus on Christ. We have very little knowledge about homeschooling but we're ready to start seeking all available resources. In Christ, Walberg Family Eric & Diana Walberg - 10/23/2008 8:26:10 PM

election - I agree 100% with the 10/18/08 program. I do hope that all Christians will pray from now until the election. God says that if we humble ourselves and pray he will hear and heal our land. Our LAND needs Healing. I hope that all people will look closely at the issues -----Abortion, Gay marriages etc. In Christ, Melba Jackson Melba Jackson - 10/18/2008 6:36:32 PM

Paper on Abortion - Can you help me publish? -

Hi Bob and Geri,

I listen to your radio program every Saturday morning on my way to classes at Berkeley. I love your program - you guys are right on target - and I thank the LORD for His grace at work in you. I'm very excited to join your google group.

I have written a paper on abortion... will you please read it, and would you consider helping me to get this paper published and/or publicized before the upcoming elections?

In Christ,

Church School - A few of your radio programs started me thinking about my daughters education and my involvement in the process. I am trying to get a Bible based school started in my community and surrounding area. We live in a very rural area and the Christian population in not that high, but I believe with God all things are possible. And it would be a great ministering opportunity to the community. I have looked on the internet for some of the religous grants, but I was wondering if you know of any specifically that would fit for this kind of project? Thank you in advance for your time and God Bless you, your family and your ministry. Listener - 9/24/2008

Heart disease - Thanks for your show with guest Dr. Rath, I read up on his program and tried it out. I had been on the Ornish diet after almost having a heart attack and after 1 month of vitamin C therapy, I woke up in the middle of the night and was able to take a deep breath for the first time in 5 years. It has been over a year now and I can go 100%. Praise the Lord! Thanks again and God Bless! Listener - 9/12/2008

Vital Election Issues pt 2 - I thank our God and Savior for His Spirit that has empowered you to be bold and courageous enough to broadcast TRUTH that needs to be heard by all. As a born again, black, American, female I so appreciate this program and again thank our God for you all. I have been called to teach the Word and in doing so, I constantly search the scriptures and occupy my time with sound, biblical teachings and discussions. I hope it's OK to share this material with my classes. I teach both adults and children in the inner city of Los Angeles and I'm quite aware of the urgency to inform all who will hear. (Rom 1:16)

May our God continue to bless this program and all of you there and know that you are in my prayers as well as our wonderful Christian nation!

Love and blessings from a sister in Christ

Math made easy - I love your show, I listen to it here on the little island of Guam. I could not make out the website address for the math books of your guest. Can you please let me know what the website address? Thank you very much Listener - 8/12/2008

Voting and elections - I heard your program in Santa Maria Calif., not sure which station.Do you know of any resources available for my area state and presidential elections where I can find out the candidates and how they lean toward the issues that are vital to our Christian world views. You have a wonderful radio ministry, hope you never stop what you are doing and may the LORD use you to change the direction this nation is headed. Thank you for your time Listener - 8/9/2008

Suffer the children - I can't believe what I just saw, little children being exposed to sexual orientation at 9 years old. i have a 7 year old daughter and don't plan on teaching her anything about sex for several years,gay or straight. When the question of "where do babies come from?" came up recently I said "from God." She said "like Mary with Jesus?" "Sort of...Honey that's something your mom and I will teach you later." "O.K." she said. Nothing more was said because she had 1000 other questions she wanted answers to also. I live in Maine where our education system is broken,cracked, and LIBERAL. Kids are graduating highschool without basic language and math skills but they can tell you all about pills,pot,beer,music, and sex. We are a fogotten state here in Maine. North of Augusta(state capital) the average job pays $10 hr and there's not many of those. My town of Pittsfield has 6000 people and thats big has nothing for kids to do. Some sports,clubs, and 1 movie theater(showing 1 movie per week thats been out for at least 2 months)other than that kids party. The drinking is starting as early as 7th grade and sexual activty in 8th grade. My wife and I homeschool in hopes of preserving our children's innocense as long as possible. Our churches are also under attack, gay pastors,elimination of sundayschool,less Wed. night services, and very short Sunday services(family time rather than God time). Thankfully we have stations like 99.5FM wjcx that carries your program. Please pray for us up here in Maine and possible investigate the Maine school system. PLEASE!!!! OUR CHILDREN ARE SUFFERING IN MAINE!!!! Listener - 7/23/2008

Hi Bob and Geri - Just wanted to let you know that a week ago Sunday - July 13th, my mom and I went to Buffalo N.Y. to see Bill and Annette Weise and hear his testimony. We we're really blessed. Back about 3 months ago I gave my pastor a copy of Bill's testimony from your program. He listened and read the book (23 minutes in hell). His wife said she listened to it 4 times. Pastor gave a message on hell about 4 or 5 weeks ago, so you can see that the seeds are bearing fruit. I am going to ask you also if the video on your website is available or where can I purchase a copy of the video "Suffer the children"? This coming Sunday my mom is going to play the CD that we got of Bill Weise's testimony at Bufflao to her church. There are only a few people who go there but the message needs to be presented. Thanks for your faithfullness to the Lord. Happy to hear that Bob's heart surgery was successful. Obviously the Lord has more for you to do!! Thanks again and may the Lord continue to bless you! Listener - 7/22/2008

First Time Listener - Dear Bob & Geri: I listened to your broadcast for the first time today driving home from Church. You were interviewing Brad Heath, Millstones & Stumbling Blocks. I found the information facinating. For the past 8 years I have been questioning the Public Education System content & procedure. This is particularly interesting even though I spent my entire career as a High School Agriculture teacher & Professor of Animal Science at Cal Poly. I retired in 2004. When I figure out that my life was not going right I turned to God & on September 10, 2006 I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior. For the past 8 months I have studied the Bible. The answers are in the Bible: marriage, child rearing, the 10 Commandments, fiances, any topic you want to pick. The Bible is very clear what God says. I have been having trouble expressing these thoughts in relation to public education. I agree with everything that was said on your radio broadcast. I am sure this is the reason the United States & the world are sliding down hill in economics, morals, standards,etc. We have not been transfering a Christian way of life to our students. I am looking forward to reading Brad's book. Thanks & God Bless. Listener - 7/6/2008

Thank you so very much - Bob- What a blessing and resource you are. I really appreciate your input. I will give Norm Fox a call too. May God continue to bless you and your ministry. Listener - 7/5/2008

Appreciation - I really appreciate your time and effort that you put into our childrens future. I also have a youth mentoring group called K.I.R. Keep It Real and we teach life skills to drum line, but your information on schooling is great. I work most saturday mornings and I look forward to your program as I drive my truck sometimes I won't get out of the truck if you are talking about something good which is all the time. The customer may want to know what am I doing why won't he get out. Thank You for your efforts. Listener - 6/14/2008

A Note of Thanks - Fortunately for me I read the Bible when I was young and recognized the Truth it contained. But I was devastated when my teachers in public schools contradicted everything I knew to be the true. I got no sympathetic support from my family and so I bore the pain alone. Thank you for your ministry and for justifying the feelings that I kept bottled up for so long. Listener - 5/28/2008

Homeschooling - Could you please inform us of how we go about receiving materials for my adult daughter on homeschooling. She is seriously considering this alternative and we would like to be of assistance. We appreciate you and may God continue to Bless you, your family and your ministry beyond measure. Listener - 5/26/2008

YOUR PROGRAM - THANK GOD FOR A PROGRAM LIKE YOURS. Listener - 5/17/2008

 
Parents! Don't simply ask what kind of education you want for your children.
Ask what kind of people you want them to become!
